Now that the trees and shrubs outside the windows are leafing out, the morning sun is tempered by green. Giuseppe curled on my desk, early, in all that soft green light. I liked the simple shapes that made up his figure. What was I sketching a year ago today? Well,

Mewsette and Mr. Sunshine are looking at one of their siblings, I think, as I quickly developed their outlines on paper. I like interesting angled views, but sometimes I start in the wrong place on the paper, and these two are down in the corner. Their faces are most important,

Today Mr. Sunshine is truly Mr. Sunshine since he is, for once, yellow! He sits like this now and then, one paw raised. None of his siblings do, but now and then his mom does. It’s endearing to me, that regal pose, the slightly possessive demeanor of having the paw

I’m glad someone got some work done around here today because my cats were all totally useless. So the temperature was a humid 82 degrees in mid-afternoon. I wasn’t lying around like a dishrag! But I did have two or more cats on my desk all day, and still

Sometimes, this is all we see. I like the times when they are going about their business without me involved. Jelly Bean is curled, sleeping, at the top of the steps where the sun had been shining, briefly awakened by Mewsette as she climbs the steps and rounds the corner

Mewsette gazes dreamily out the window while Jelly Bean dozes, something I see all the time. They were butt to butt, really pressed together, and Mewsette had her tail partly wrapped around Bean, very sweet. This is sketched in nice soft, messy vine charcoal, which is what most people envision
